Nadene and Sam this 1832 pub into a stunningly unique home in England. Nadene said when they first saw it, it had miles of Formica laminate on walls and surfaces, so it wasn’t exactly her dream house.

We begin the tour on the ground floor. They exposed a sandstone fireplace in the dining room.

Nadene found the oval 60s teak dining table in a local charity shop and the couple have surrounded it with deep, green leather nightclub swivel chairs from eBay. A French glass-fronted and sided linen cabinet displays Nadene’s eclectic collection of glassware.

The kitchen features gray cabinets and block beech wood surfaces. Two porthole windows face out and have been cleverly lit with blue LEDs.

Due to the lack of a period feel, Nadene and Sam decided to opt for a relaxed vibe on the ground floor including a 70s record player and deco cocktail cabinet.

Nadene painted the Art Deco cocktail cabinet red.

On the main floor the drawing room ceiling is papered with American tin tile wallpaper.

In the old fireplace stands a lovely antique stove.

On the walls of the drawing room are a superb Alan Rankle landscape and a big Stuart Duff limited edition of a snub-nosed Smith & Wesson

The loo itself is superb. Nadene had always wanted to paint a room black and decided this was the one.

Centerpiece of the first landing is a heavy Victorian mirror on an Italian half-console flanked by Victorian corbels.

On the top floor, a spare bedroom is divided into a sitting room with a hideaway bed tucked up in the eaves

The house is full of beautiful artwork.

The double bed and the bunk bed above it were made from the same wood as Nadene and Sam’s own bed.

Nadene and Sam’s raised bed, accessed by a mini staircase, offers enviable views out to sea.

The ceiling above the bay window has been painted with clouds and sky and beneath it is a tailor’s dummy in an antique smoking jacket and top hat.

On the wall are mounted two seven-foot high ‘tablets’ of the ten commandments reclaimed from a church.

To reach the bath, one has to climb to a gallery, with banisters and ceiling painstakingly copper-leafed by Nadene’s artist friend.

The window is, at first sight, stained glass but it is actually made from a collection of vintage glass plate travel photographs.

The whole bathroom has been modelled around Nadene’s magnificent copper bath.

A door in one corner of the lobby leads into a superb wet room, tiled in silver slate, allowing Nadene and Sam to come straight off the beach and through into the shower.

Wooden panels used to line the shower and portions of the bathroom walls are actually ceramic tiles.

The beautiful Barockhaus in Görlitz is home to a cultural history museum and a stunning library. The building can be found on the southeast corner of the Untermarkt and was a major trade and residential home from the baroque period. I have been meaning to visit this place and finally had the chance to this week – it’s beautiful, fascinating, and absolutely worth a stop when you are in Görlitz!

The house was built in 1729, after two breweries which stood in its place burned during a city fire. Brewing rights were only granted to the privileged at the time, so many wealthy & important citizens brewed beer. The new building was built according to new fire safety regulations for a rich canvas and damask trader from Zittau named Christian Ameiss. The house was built in the style of a Leipzig “Durchhaus”, a house with a central courtyard that goes all the way through from front to back. On the first floor of the museum you can see the home as it would have looked while the Ameiss family was living there, with beautiful baroque furnishings and artifacts. Especially lovely are the colored stucco ceilings.

In 1779 the house was acquired by Karl Gottlob von Anton, the co-founder of the Upper Lusatian Society of Sciences. It became the seat of the society in 1804 and their library and vast collections have been preserved since then. It was also home to the Freemason’s Lodge Zur gekrönten Schlange (To the crowned serpent). On the second floor you can find a “black room” used by the Freemason’s for their initiation rites, as well as many rooms full of the collections of the society members which include antique scientific instruments, illustrations, textiles, coins and archaeological finds.

The Barockhaus is also home to the most extensive library between Dresden and Wrocław and one of the most beautiful libraries that I’ve ever seen! The library has 140,000 volumes with numerous rarities and treasures, including medieval manuscripts and incunabula, which are the earliest printed books, from the dawn of European movable type in 1450-1500.

The library was established by the Upper Lusatian Society of Sciences, whose members felt that the region was lacking in great libraries. They wanted to promote learning and science in Upper Lusatia and so the members donated books from their private collections. Also housed in the library is the collection of a man named Johan Gottlieb Milich, who died in 1726 without heirs and left his library to Görlitz with the stipulation that his collection be made available for public use.

The oldest book in the library’s collection is a handwritten codex from the 11th century. The library also has an extensive collection of Jakob Böhme’s works, a famous mystic who lived in Görlitz.  During WWII many important works were transferred to the eastern part of Görlitz, across the Neiße River, for protection from air raids. After the war ended, this area that was once Germany became Poland and the books were not returned to the library. You can now find many of these important works in Wrocław. In 1945 the Upper Lusatian Society of Sciences was dissolved by the Soviets. Since 1950 the house and its collections have been the property of the city of Görlitz.

The unique and beautiful large book hall was arranged with beech shelves in the middle of the room, instead of along the walls. This was meant to emulate the look of a stage. The only adornment in the room are the lovely old books, which are the stars of the show. Today the hall, characterized by its simplicity, is one of the most beautiful library spaces in the world!

This museum and especially the beautiful library are not to be missed! The museum in the Barockhaus is also English-friendly with most of the descriptions translated.

Thinking out loud.

Long post, feel free to skip!!

Going to train-of-consciousness to myself about decorating stuff.

I really am drawing a blank with decorating ideas for my study in the new house. I'll have a 3.3m x 3.3m room to work with. It will have a 3.1m wide sliding glass door/window along the front wall, so there are three walls to work with.

I have bookshelves already... Part of me would like to get rid of the ol' flat-pack particleboard "beech" bookshelves and buy some that are better matched, but then again... I have three "beech" bookshelves. Not all the same height, but they more or less match. But then, I have a darker, actual timber bookshelf. And I'll be putting my Gran's darker timber furniture in there (not all actual timber, but still looks good!) I kinda like the idea of having matching dark timber furniture and shelves. I could stain the large pine bookshelf I have. Then I could but the "beech" ones in the spare room for storage in there, since I'm not putting in a BIR. The white melamine bookshelf we'll be able to use in out bedroom, because we'll actually have room for it, and our bedsides are white. We're also going to have some pine timber furniture in there, but the pine bookshelf is huge, so the white one will be better.

As far as wall décor for the study, there are heaps of things to choose from for hanging. Many floral prints that Gran had in her house, and a lot of historical family photographs. A bunch of boats/nautical things as well, although they could blend in quite well with my oddities, which I'm planning to display in the dining area.

Wall colour? I have no freaking idea!! Part of me likes the idea of a traditional English Manor style library/study with deep green or red walls, but I don't especially like green as a decorator colour, and I'm not sure red is really a *me* colour either. Also, given that my study is not going to be on the grand scale of an English Country Home, I'm not convinced that such a deep/dark colour can really be carried off in combination with dark-toned timbers. A burnished golden yellow might work. Yellow is said to be a creative colour, but it would really have to be the right one for me because there are some that I'm really not a fan of. I have had yellow in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry since I bought this place, though, without wanting to eat my own eyeballs, so that's a plus. My favourite colour is purple, but I don't think I want a purple study. I don't think it would fit with the furniture and the other décor I have tentatively planned.

Other décor? I'm planning to use some of my grandmother's old table linen to make curtains and possibly a cushion to put on a small bench seat, which I may try to make a little back for if I can figure it out. Particularly, I want to use the red gingham cloths for the side window and the seat. I'm not sure about the large window/sliding glass door. When I first had the idea of using the linens as curtains, I was set on a different kit, which would have had small windows for the study so I could have used the two ginghams. For larger curtains I could get larger-checked gingham, or make solid-colour curtains with gingham tie-backs.

Mmkay, recap for self...

Furniture: liquor cabinet; linen chest; tapestry seat thingy; wheeled bench seat thingy; timber bookshelf (Coogans); unsealed pine bookshelf (stained dark timber); new bookshelves from somewhere; desk from somewhere, Dad's desk chair.

Wall décor: floral prints; family photographs.

Wall colour: burnished yellow/gold?

Curtains: gingham w/ white tiebacks (small); white w/ gingham tiebacks (large).

Flooring: ?????; black & grey rug.

Flooring I'm still kinda deciding on for the house in general. Our bedroom will have second-hand carpet from Dad and Joss's, the piece from their lounge room will almost perfectly fit our room. It does have a stain on it, but we figure a rug will do to cover that. A 4.25m x 3.35m, 5-year-old carpet in good condition otherwise is a gift horse and I ain't looking in its mouth. 🤷‍♀️

The main living area being an open space, basically 6m x 7.35m, I'm debating the flooring. We could go with vinyl for the kitchen/entry and then laminate timber-look flooring for the lounge/dining area, or just laminate or vinyl the lot. Laminate is more cost effective, but much more labour-intensive. Vinyl sheeting is much quicker to lay, but costs more, albeit still not a huge amount. But also, vinyl flooring doesn't look as nice as laminate. 🤔

Spare room and study also need flooring, of course. Probably room-sized remnants from a carpet place, if the carpet we have isn't enough to Frankenstein together a room's worth. And the bathroom/laundry and powder rooms will by vinyl sheet flooring, I'm just not sure of the design yet.

Okay. After all that rambling, I have more of an idea in mind of what I want to do with my study/writing room. I have an antique inkwell/bottle as well as my nice dark, old furniture and historical photos, so I like the idea of having a traditional-looking room, even if I will be using a 2-in-1 laptop to do my writing on while I'm in there! 😅

Cincinnati’s Forest Primeval And The House In The Middle Of Water Street

Francis Kennedy, his wife Rebecca, and their seven children arrived at Cincinnati early in February 1789, just months after the very first settlers. At the time, the little town consisted of only three cabins. Mrs. Kennedy became the fourth woman in town. Just one other family, some Germans named Pesthal, had young children.

While waiting to clear their plot of land, the Kennedys opted to live on their flatboat, pulled up to the riverbank at what is now the Public Landing. One of the Kennedy daughters, whose name was Rebecca and who later married a man named Reuben Reeder, told the story in an 1858 letter to the Cincinnati Pioneer Association:

“We lived in our boat until the ice began to run, and then we were forced to contrive some other way to live. What few men there were here got together and knocked our boats up and built us a camp. We lived in our camp six weeks. Then my father built us a large cabin, which was the first one large enough for a family to live in. We took the boards of our camp and made floors in our house.”

It seems that the boundary lines were none too clearly marked at the time, because Mr. Kennedy miscalculated his metes and bounds when he laid out his cabin in the woods.

“Father intended to have built our house on the corner of Walnut and Water Streets, but not knowing exactly where the streets were, he built our house right in the middle of Water Street. The streets were laid out, but the woods were so very thick, and the streets were not opened, so it was impossible to tell where the streets would be.”

Water Street (approximately today’s Mehring Way) was located right on the water – the Ohio River. The woods there were “so very thick” that survey marks were hard to locate. That is a very different view of Old Cincinnati than most folks have.

The best-known early pictures of early Cincinnati suggest there were few trees here. These antique images usually show a couple dozen buildings on a nicely cleared riverfront. The nearest trees remaining from the primeval forest lie some distance beyond Fort Washington, maybe north of Fifth Street.

If you travel along the Ohio River, however, you will see many locations where trees grow right down to the riverbank. Although (amazingly!) Cincinnati’s first settlers did not bring a photographer along to document their arrival, the surviving descriptions, like Rebecca Reeder’s, make it clear that large trees towered over the very edge of the river. Thousands upon thousands of these trees were harvested for construction or fuel before the earliest drawings of Cincinnati were committed to paper around 1800.

A.E. Jones, in his “Extracts from the History of Cincinnati,” describes this sylvan abundance along Cincinnati’s future riverfront:

“The first level or plain was covered with a dense forest of beech, walnut and sycamore trees, with a thick undergrowth of spice wood [i.e. redbud]. The second or upper plain was also thickly wooded with large trees of sugar [i.e. maple], oak, walnut, hickory and in some places poplar trees, but was comparatively clear of underbrush.”

A good survey was necessary to sell land. While workmen labored to clear forests within the city limits, reports emphasize how overgrown the surrounding countryside was. James McBride, in his 1869 book, “Pioneer Biography,” describes the difficulties faced by two men walking from Columbia (now Columbia-Tusculum) downriver to Losantiville:

“The bank was narrow, and there was no road or traces; the woods were thick, and the way much obstructed by underbrush and vines, so that the traveling was very tedious.”

Our first settlers were divided among three occupations: woodcutter, hunter and surveyor. There was some overlap as some men performed two or three of these functions, but the essential work involved surveying the land that would become the town.

Cincinnati began as a commercial venture. Cincinnati’s original 760 acres were owned by Mathias Denman, Robert Patterson and Israel Ludlow, and this trio aimed to make a profit selling lots to immigrant pioneers. To sell a lot, it needed to be surveyed and cleared, so woodcutters and surveyors were quite busy.

Tree-felling continued at a rapid pace and Jones reports that a substantial portion of Cincinnati was cleared by the summer following the first settlement:

“When spring opened more cabins were built, principally between Walnut Street and Broadway, and the population had increased by the first of May to eleven families, besides twenty-four unmarried men, all dwelling in twenty log cabins, and nearly all of the large trees had been cut down between Walnut Street and Broadway, south of Second Street, although the logs, or many of them, remained on the ground for several years afterward, as is well remembered by some of the older citizens still living.”

Rebecca Reeder does not relate how or whether the family had to move their cabin. Her father and uncle operated the first ferry across the Ohio River, shuttling supplies to and from Kentucky. Hauling a shipment of cattle one day, Francis Kennedy drowned in the Ohio when his ferry capsized. His widow relocated her family to the Silverton/Pleasant Ridge area. There, her daughter Rebecca listened to her stories. Both Rebeccas are now buried in the Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Cemetery.

The house in the middle of Water Street would have been located right about where the PNC Grow Up Great Adventure Playground sits next to the Roebling Bridge.

Friday 25th January 2019

Last night was not an easy one. At midnight we saw temperatures of 32 degrees. This apartment does not have air conditioning! The fans were spinning without any relief in sight. These are extraordinary times. The heat has been on for a while but we are in an area which has road signs giving advice for driving in ice and snow! Martine spent much of the night sleeping on the floor next to the front door.

So, sleepily, we emerged at 9am thinking perhaps a slower day should be allowed for especially since temperatures were predicted as 41degrees. Since the area is famous for its mineral water springs and spas, we thought we would have a stroll in the nature reserve that is full of the stuff. Hepburn Springs has been appreciated for its springs and mineral waters since the 1860s. In 1864 its citizens met at the Savoia Hotel (which incidentally is opposite us) and petitioned the government to protect the mineral springs from mining - the water was rated above gold and the Hepburn Mineral Spring Reserve was created in 1865. Several springs exist in the main reserve – Soda, Sulphur, Pavilion, Locarno and Wyuna. Golden Spring, Hendersons and Lithia Spring are located in the vicinity. There were various drinking fountains around the reserve where it was possible to sample these various waters. The ones we tried were fairly disgusting. I think I will stick to bottled. Returning to the apartment, we slopped a bit in the heat, then popped out to our biggest nearest town, Daylesford to have a look at the heritage railway station. No trains today unfortunately. The line just tootles up and down between 3 stops now, but once it joined to the mainline connecting with Melbourne. It would appear that during the 1970s, Australia had its own Dr Beeching when many small lines were closed. We had a look at a local shop, closed due to the heat, as was the Chinese antique shop. So we had a cold beer instead: Little Creatures. We saw the brewery last year in Fremantle. Nice beer.

Tonight we have been watching the Australian of the year voting. Two medical doctors/ cavers were given the award for their part in the rescue of the Thai boy's football team. No mention was made of the British rescue guys.

Tomorrow we shall be making our way back to Melbourne where we hope to have air-conditioning. Oh, and tomorrow is also Australia Day of course celebrating the landing of the first fleet on 26th January 1788 in Sydney Cove, NSW.

As a footnote, we saw on the news tonight that the remains of Captain Matthew Flinders were unearthed whilst clearing the site for the new Euston Station. This has caused some excitement here since he is quite a hero down under. He was mentioned earlier in this tome as the man who was attributed as the first to refer to this land as Australia and had also charted the coastline of Australia. Clearly found his way home then.

Everyone made their way to Virginia to the wedding reception venue.

A Georgian stone farmhouse with extensive stables, long wings with beautiful antiques tucked into rooms with 20 foot ceilings, oriental carpets on centuries old hardwood floors, and blazing fires in marble fireplaces - this place is devastatingly lovely.

Formal gardens stretch into the distance and a lake is glimpsed through the trees.

We are directed to the parking lots by valets waving flashlights. There are two buses already there - filled with wedding party. It seems that the drinking which has been going on for some time prior to the actual event, can be continued on the bus - which is hired to provide safe transport between the church and the hall.

We pulled into a space beneath the huge beech trees, and watched all of the wedding guests climb out of their cars and head toward the door - pulling their suitcases behind them.

Luggage.

Irish wedding guests arrive with baggage.

They all stay overnight, and the following morning - all drive on to the next venue (a pub) to continue the celebration for another 24 hours,

Natural wooden flooring, the most coveted floor type everyone wants to have, is no longer an option. It is not just a question of being expensive anymore, but raises a much more life impacting reason to avoid such a luxury.

Nature doesn’t need us, we need nature

The world is running out of forests that produced timber out of which planks are cut to be used for wooden flooring and to make furniture. The estimated rate of deforestation is in the region of 20 million acres lost each year. To bring these real and sinister statistics home, more than 2400 trees are cut down each minute.

If that is not enough to make you sit up and take notice, the following definitely will: 137 different species of plants, animals, and birds are lost every single day due to the loss of rain forests. 31% of modern diseases are a result of deforestation. And hold your breath, deforestation causes approximately $2 trillion to $4.5 trillion in lost biodiversity each year.

But what more does all this destruction mean? To put it bluntly, we are collectively responsible for triggering an irreversible disaster. We as users of natural timber are not only destabilizing the delicate balance nature maintains, but have actively assisted in increasing the rate of global warming.

Becoming more or less the primary cause for so many more instances of wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, annual flooding and causing a dramatic increase in the concentration of harmful particles in the air we breath.

Best change comes from within

More and more specifiers are working towards reversing this disastrous trend. Instead of recommending a natural wood flooring, designers are advising clients to resist the urge. Especially when there is an effective solution that combines remarkable aesthetics of wood, with benefits that natural wood cannot provide.  

Unlike natural timber, wood finish vitrified tiles are incredibly hard-wearing, really easy to maintain and won’t rot or warp when they get wet. What is more, the range of wood effects come in all manner of sizes and styles.

They can be perfectly combined with all types of decoration. Bringing a touch of nature to your spaces and even become the focal point for your interiors and statements of style. Depending on the aesthetic effect you choose, wood finish vitrified tiles soften the atmosphere, giving a lot of character to your decor, while making it extremely warm and friendly.

Designs for all seasons

Wood finish vitrified tiles is a material that can be combined with many others such as metal or stone, for example. The latter can create surprising associations and can be laid not only on floors but also on walls as well. Giving a contemporary design look by creating a combination of pleasing colours, and a choice to establish the overall style of your interior spaces.

Technological advances now make it possible to produce even more original colours like grey for instance, which is often more difficult to find in natural wood. These grey wood effect finish lightens and refreshes an area where an atmosphere of rest and comfort is a design requirement. You can also create a more authentic look with more character, by using darker shades of colours and bring to life an antique look and feel, if that is what you prefer.

Think of creating an even more unique and chic concept, by choosing black wood effect vitrified tiles. The intense black look will highlight rest of the interior and create contrasts with the colour of your walls and the elements in your decoration. Something that you cannot achieve using natural timber!

Finally, there are shades of bleached or warmer colours you can choose to bring softness and warmth to the interiors, with a beige wood effect you will be able to create perfectly suited minimalist style that most want to achieve but are seldom successful. As a matter of fact, with a wood finish vitrified tile you could make your design in which wood is an integral part of your style statements without hurting the environment.

Benefits real wooden floors cannot match

Unlike real wood, which is generally a soft material and degrades more easily and quickly due to heavy traffic, wood effect vitrified tiles are highly resistant to wear and tear. They are easy to clean and do not require special treatment like real wooden flooring do -- the frequent application of a protective varnish or wax.

Since the suface of the wood effect flooring is almost non-porous, stains remain only on the surface and are easy to remove. All that the wood effect vitrified tile needs is hot and clear water to be thoroughly cleaned. They will maintain their bright and shinning appearance for the years to come. Besides, the flooring will remain hygienic throughout its lifetime, because wood effect vitrified tiles do not permit the development or growth of bacteria .

Wood effect, indoors & outdoors

One of the greatest qualities offered by vitrified tiles is that it repels water due to its almost zero porosity and feature anti-slip technology. Making them an ideal choice for not only wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, but also for outdoor settings such as flooring around swimming pools, terraces, balconies and verandas.

Vitrified tiles are also recommended for outdoor use since their colour and finish remain unaltered from the effect of solar radiation. Furthermore, it is strong enough to support heavy traffic areas and acts as a fire-resistant material, and meets all the requirements set out in the Technical Building Code.

Wood effect vitrified tiles are not affected due to frost or bad weather or because UV rays can discolour it. They retain their original colour, sheen and their good looks despite being exposed to the harshest of weather conditions. over time.
